Aswath Damodaran in City Journal reflects on the practice of “impact investing” – a trillion-dollar game of allocating investment dollars in ways that ostensibly benefit society.

In City Journal, Christopher F. Rufo unmasks the U.S. federal government’s prodigious spending on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Brendan O’Neill reports in Spiked on last week’s decision by the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – something O’Neill regards as a direct threat against Israel’s right to defend itself.

Harrison Pitt in The European Conservative shows how the UK’s recently elected Labour Party intends to crush farmers.

In the wake of Amsterdam’s horrific “Jew hunt”, Rod Dreher reports in The European Conservative on the surrounding rise of violent crime in the Netherlands, describing the correlation between that phenomenon and growth in the country’s Muslim population.
